Background

Today Thursday Pushya Bahula
Ashtami January
27th.2011, the Aaradhana of
Uttanooru Sri
Gopaladasaru will be celebrated in Uttanoor. The
greatest
Devotee of Mantralaya Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertharu.
Described the Mahima of Mantralaya and Rayaru in Pada and Suladis
abundantly. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO THIS DIVINE CHETANA. We believe that he
is the Amsha of Sri Ganapati.

Sri Gopaladasaru is also famous as
Sri Bhaagannadasaru : Bhaktiyali Bhaaganna. The popular Suladi of Sri
Uttanooru Gopaladasaru about Mantralaya and Rayara
Sannidhaana is
to be recorded in the Golden Letters:

In
all the 365 days of the year in Mantralaya Pooja, Utsava, Celebrations,
Mahimas, the large number of devotees, Santrupta Bhojana - Anna
Santarpana , Seva, Alankara, Rathhotsava, Bhajana, Sankeertana is
continued non stop. Devotees are making their life meaningful, wipe off
their evil deeds Paapa and acquiring Punya and fulfilling their wishes
and desires. This will continue for 700 YEARS and I feel and opine
that not only for 700 years this will be continued till the
end
of Kaliyuga.

We always Remember Uttanooru Sri Gopaladasaru

The
Mantralaya Devotees Samsarana with Gratitude, the kind
concern
and the care of Rayaru, Daivika Siddhi
and the Power
of our Rayaru are described in Mantralaya(387).

Meaning

Devotees
we are really Blessed to understand the Bhavya Divya
Punyakara
details of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha
Gurusarvabhoumaru and His dearest Devotees. Who are always very near
and knew the heart of our Kind Mantralaya Yatiraat. Sondur
scholar Muddukrishnacharya became Rayara Devotee by Bichali Japadakatti
Sri Appanacharya through GURUSTOTRA and thus known to the Universe as
Sri Krishnavadhootaru and wrote the most Siddhiprada Granthha Sri R A G
H A V E N D R A T A N T R A.

It is my immense punya and
pleasure to describe about Sri Krishnavadhootaru in the 34 Series of
Mantralaya. Today Avadhootaru’s masterpiece Sri
RaghavendraTantra
is a great Boon to the World Devotees, a great Mahopakaara
Seva
to the entire Manukula. Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru as a
Tapa
and Japa composed Sri RaghavendraTantra. All the thoughts, views
and the opinions are in accordance with the kind permission
of
Rayaru. There is no exaggeration to say that
Krishnavadhootaru took Avataara for the composition of Sri
RaghavendraTantra. It is really happy to know that how
many
Great Mahaan Devotees have taken birth after Bichali Japadakatti Sri
Appanacharyaru to glorify the greatness of Mantralaya Gururaat and
there by completed the Uddhaara of Manukula irrespective of caste,
creed , religion, nation and gender:

Vipra Kshatra Vidanghri Jaata Mukharaaneka Prajaa Sevitaha

We
feel that such extra-ordinary Devotees completely
dedicated
their Seva with full involvement, Devotion and Affection to our
Mantralaya Gururayaru are Jeevana Sampurna
Samrpitaru we
can say.

Sri
Raghavendrateertharu does everything for the sake of his dear devotees
and imparts Chaturvidha Purushaarthha. Blesses the best in this life
and also in the other loka other life. Sarveshto Modatae Na Atra
Samshayaha. Further Bichali Japadakatti Appanacharyaru clarified with
great confidence that there is no doubt about that :

Na
Atra Samshayaha. Those who have Believed are Benefitted in many ways
and in all the walks of life. Rayaru a great Daivee Chetana is helping
the Manukula all the times though our Yatirajaru is in the long Akhanda
Japa of Sri Hari below the Brindavana in Mantralaya.

Sri
Raghavendrateertharu will definitely do the Uddhaara of Such Devotees
who Believe Completely that Rayaru is Capable of Vanishing the Ill Fate
with Roots:

Durdaiva Moola
Nirnaashana Arhataa.

Really
devotees have gained a lot. Not only that given Darshana in their
dreams. Also advised several things. What an amount of Punya they have
achieved and accumulated in their life. We are really amazed to see a
big list of such devotees.

These
devotees have acted as per the guidelines and the Upadesha of of our
Mantralaya Rayaru. Today it is a matter of proud
and honour
to mention in the Mantralaya Series that such a devotee is living
amongst us. That too a family man, living in India, Maharashtra.
Residing in Mumbai, the Capital City of the state of
Maharashtra.Previously residing in VileParle, doing a job in some
company. One day he got dream. In the dream
a Archaka
looked like a Saint and said to this devotee that you have to come to
Mantralaya only after 12 years. The devotee never thought of Mantralaya
nor he has heard about Rayaru. Surprised about his dream and resumed to
his normal routine the busy schedule of Bombay life. In course of time
that 12 years have paased away. The devotee remembered the
dream
of long back and desired to go to Mantralaya.

From Mumbai he
reached Tungabhadra Railway Station(now Mantralayam Road) by Mumbai
Madras Mail. From there reached Mantralaya by bus. In those days in
Mantralaya Hubli Chhatra was very popular. He took a room and stayed
there. While going to Tungabhadra to take a Holy Dip, the devotee heard
a Marathi song about Rayaru, listened carefully the devotee was singing
in the Hubli Chhatra. Went to the river. After the holy dip, with wet
clothes took the Darshana of Manchalemma and entered the main door (
Mahadwaara) of the Mutt, constructed by Diwan Venkanna in the year
1671. For his great surprise he heard the wordings and the dialogues of
Telugu and Kannada. Immediately understood the meaning. So far he did
not know any other languages except Marathi, Hindi and English. His joy
knew no bonds. Believed that it is the Miracle of Mantralaya Sri
Raghavendrateertharu. After stepping in he took the Darshana
of Anjaneya Sri Hanumanthadevaru and Sri
Rudradevaru. Then he
stood before the Moola Brindavana of Sri Raghavendrateertha
Gurusarvabhoumaru. Became silent, emotional and devotional feelings
spontaneously overflowed like a fountain from the bottom of his heart
and started the Pathhana of Gurustotra Sarveshta and filled
with
joy.

From that day his heart throbbed for Rayaru and Mantralaya
and knew several things about Rayaru and became a staunch devotee. He
became dear and near to the Mutt, the Archakas and to the
devotees. After Namaskara and Pradakshina Seva, took Hastodaka in the
Mutt. Received Phala Mantrakshate and Mruttika. Acquired immense
satisfaction. With a heavy heart left Mantralaya and reached Bombay.

After
a few days while residing in VileParle only the devotee got a dream. He
saw the Brindavana of Sri Vadirajaswamigalu of Swadi. Not one time. But
several times. Then the devotee gathered information about Swadi and
decided to go to Swadi. After going there for his great SURPRISE the
Brindavana of Sri Vadirajaswamigalu was the same as he had seen in his
dream. The same dream he dream he experienced not once or twice but
many times. So the devotee was able to know fully. His joy cannot be
described in words. To Bless something extraordinary Sri
Vadirajaswamiji has made this Miracle he thought. Took the Darshana
of Sri Bhootaraja. Took Mahaprasada and slept. That night Sri
Vadirajaswamigalu appeared in his dream and said. Look my Brindavana
here in Swadi is small. So I am sitting in the Brindavana itself. Where
as Sri Raghavendrateertha’s Brindavana is a big one. Rayaru is sitting
below the Brindavana 6x6 spacious cave type Guha. That is
the Garbhaalaya of the Brindavana. We both entered the
Brindavana
Sahareera. Not given up our body, living with Yoga Siddhi to Bless the
Devotees and to the Uddhaara of Manukula.

The Faith and the
Belief of this Devotee grew day by day. Now a Great Devotee. Well
versed with the Sadaachaara of Madhwa Shastra Sammata. It is quite
heartening to know that this devotee’s son is also a great devotee of
Mantralaya Rayaru. Son is walking on the footsteps of his father and
leading a noble life. Now frequently visiting Mantralaya when ever he
remembers. A stranger became a perfect devotee of Sri Raghavendraswami
and Mantralaya. Now says :

Munche Maadiri Neevu
Mantralaya Yaatre.

Such
is the Spirit and the Divinity of Mantralaya Yatiraat right from
Appanarya, Ibharamapura Appa Gurujagannathadasaru to till today such
devotees are with us and we are greatly Blessed by Mantralaya Sri
Raghavendrateertharu.

In
this Kaliyuga Rayaru is like Kalpavruksha. For the sake
of
our Uddhaara always praying to Sri Hari. Such a Kind,
Affectionate and Magnanimous Gururaat is our Mantralaya
Yatiraaat
Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru. We are highly fortunate that
such great devotees Blessings and the Paramaanugraha of Sri
Raghavendrateertharu is with us and always protecting in this world.
